Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
Modi Government: Political Arm of the RSS
The detailed reports of their work being given by Union Government Ministers
to RSS leaders at their joint meeting in the Capital is an affront to Indian
democracy. It clearly shows that the RSS is not merely the remote control
but is in the direct control of this BJP Government which act as the RSS's
political arm.
The RSS has openly declared that its agenda is the establishment of its
ideological project - `Hindu Rashtra'. This objective is against the
fundamental tenets of the secular democratic Indian Constitution. This
current exercise being undertaken by the Ministers violates the
Constitutional oath of office and secrecy that they have sworn to uphold.
As it is, the basic principles of secularism are being threatened by the RSS
and its Hindutva front organisations on a daily basis. Many of those
attending this meeting continue to make communally inflammatory speeches.
Instead of curbing these elements, the Prime Minister and the Central
Government is patronizing and is legitimizing such efforts.
The CPI(M) strongly condemns and opposes this blatant violation of
constitutional norms.
